Not really new in blogland, but this bloody record is always worth a post and it belongs to a five piece from London and their only slab on Posthumous Petal with two superb killer tracks. Formed in the first half of 1978, Roses Are Red suffered a series of personnel changes before in March 1979 line-up featuring Chris (vocals), Nicky & Greg (guitars), Ian (bass), Jon (drums). Unfortunately the band only had a short existence in the punk world, but their single is a fantastic outpouring of solid and powerful hip swings that other combos at the time couldn't even come closer to. Fire and dynamic are paired here in one breath and the New York label Sing Sing Records recognized this as well and re-released this goodie in 2009, a good decision. They've also been invited to a few compilations, and for good reason. Enjoy!
